Week 11 What Are We Learning

Meant to say offense finally couldn't carry a defense consistently exposed

Spot on.

I was hoping they would win today so we could have even better fades upcoming.

Normally GT TT would have been a big play but the uncertainty with King shied myself away.
 
The bubble burst scenario was alive and well with ISU and Pitt. Even with the expanded playoff, once these teams lose once, they always seem to lose again the next week.

Look at Pitt's schedule now. They probably lose out.

Ballsy effort by GT and King. King was nowhere near 100%. He couldn't throw the ball downfield, but GT designed the run game that Miami just could not stop.

GT seems to have found a keeper in Key. Not that we didn't already know that. But that was a clinic their offense put on yesterday. Rotated Philo in enough on passing situations and he came through. Remember this kid. He's going to be special.

Ballsy is right. King was getting hammered and kept coming back for more. Great win by GT.
 
- DeShaun Foster has UCLA playing really hard.
- Tulane may be the the most buttoned up team in CFB. Just so well coached.
- The defensive turnaround by Colorado has been nothing short of amazing. Putrid unit last season. Damn tough one now. Sanders deserves so much credit for how well that team is playing. On the subject, it is going to hammer Utah on Saturday. Utes took a massive gut punch last night. I don't know when they will get off the mat.
- On that note, Utah AD better get his checkbook out.
- Indiana is 10-0. I have to keep repeating that to myself.
- Oxford looked like something out of the Twilight Zone yesterday, between the rain, fog and smoke. Good for that fan base and a big win. Just make sure you don't fuck it up, Kiffin, in Gainesville.
- And as a side not in the Ole Miss game...I don't know much about that freshman backup but, with a small sample size, I'm thinking he could start for many teams in the country. He was ice-like in a very tough situation and just made precise throws.
- Brian Kelly continues to be so overrated. Abysmal performance last night. Corresponding credit to Bama. Milroe looks like all his wheels are back in order.

How about this scenario:

Alabama wins out
UGA wins out
Texas loses to aTm
aTm loses @ AU
Ole Miss wins out
LSU wins out
Mizzou wins out

8 teams (Alabama, Texas, aTm, Tenn, Ole Miss, LSU, Mizzou and UGA) all finish with 6-2 conference records. Might have to dig deep into the tiebreakers to see who goes to Atlanta
 
Learned that the UGA schedule was an absolute gauntlet. UGA missed on a ton of guys in the portal and the new coaches have struggled to develop the talent. Also that Beck is not Stetson and the WR/TE currently in place are not Ladd or Bowers. UGA needs Ratledge, Mondon and Young back to have a chance. The roster that was out there against Ole Miss got embarrassed.
 
I don't know that Alabama is a championship caliber team this season, or even a playoff one at this point, but De Boer and his staff are starting to figure it out. As maligned as the defense was after the 2nd half of the UGA game and then the Vandy game (rightly so), they have been rounding into a pretty solid unit. Shutout Tenn in the first half, shutout Mizzou full game, and then last night did not allow a TD until there was 11 seconds left and all backups in. They've forced 17 turnovers in 6 conference games. Add to that a healthy Milroe, and I think it's possible we make the CFP and win a game or two. If nothing else, we are battle tested as we are the only team in the top 25 to have played as many as 5 other ranked teams.
 
Unless you were watching Miami / Ga Tech you may have missed...the most violent head shot I've ever seen in a football game, Any level. The head snap is not something a lot people don't wake up from.

Thankfully, the GT guy bounced back. Somehow.

Has anyone read or heard if targeting calls are decreasing? That is the intent of the penalty right, to 'get that kind of hit out of the game'. Well, is it working I wonder? Plenty of targeting calls still. Is some entity out there keeping track of this?

This is not sour grapes. That was a great win for Bama. I would be pumped up too.


LSU gets out coached just about every game. The wins do not come from coaching but just talent. And there’s isn’t a ton.


If Sloan delivers Underwood, cool. If not, get him the fuck outta here.
 
Not sure if you guys heard, BC QB Castellanos our QB1, just hit portal. Not making trip or playing SMU. No idea why now played more than 4 games, but he is gone.
